Enjoy a two hour cruise traversing the deep waters of Milford Sound, located in Fiordland. Your cruise will take you past St Anne’s lighthouse and out into the Tasman Sea. Informative guides point out scenic highlights along the way, such as the Bowen Falls (dropping 160 metres seaward), Sinbad Gully (a classic example of a hanging valley), snow-capped Mount Pembroke, and the awe-inspiring Mitre Peak itself, towering 1692 metres from the ocean floor.

Fabulous small boat cruise. So nice to experience the beauty of the sound on a small boat, away from the big tour groups, and get up close to nature. The staff were great and the whole experience was amazing.

We enjoyed being on a smaller boat with fewer people. The captain was very adept at getting the boat very close to the sheer cliffs and waterfalls. Although his description of the area was and seemed informative, the sound system on the boat made it difficult to understand what he was saying, at times.

The price on the English site was $89, which was significantly cheaper than other companies and JCB was accepted, so I went ahead with the reservation, but JCB was not accepted no matter how many times I tried, and MasterCard was rejected by Rakuten, so I finally paid with AEON card. I thought it was cheap, but the price was much higher than other companies in NZD when I paid in USD. I never want to use such a company again.
As for the cruise, there are two departures, at 11:00 and 13:30. To take the 11:00 flight, you need to stay at Milford Sound or drive to the site by yourself. On the day, we left Te Anau before 8:00, and on the morning drive, you can see the sea of clouds to the side, or stop the car at a scenic spot and be overwhelmed by the towering rock faces carved by glaciers. On the cruise, you will be overwhelmed by the steep mountains of 1500m that rise from the sea. On the way, you will pass rocks near a sea lion habitat, but it depends on your luck whether you can see sea lions. I was disappointed that I couldn't see any sea lions that day, but I was lucky enough to see a group of dolphins swimming around the ship. It was a breathtaking two hours. When we returned to the port from the morning cruise, the pier was crowded with people who had come by tour bus. If you want to enjoy a leisurely cruise, I recommend the 11:00 departure or the overnight cruise.

A must see activity to do on your trip! We were fortunate to have really good weather and were able to move throughout the boat, but mostly sit outside and enjoy the view. There is some information given throughout the boat ride with points of interests shown. We were also able to see dolphins playing by the boats which was a real treat! Amazing views and would definitely recommend!

We absolutely loved this trip and the staff were super friendly and informative - we got to see dolphins in some of the most amazing scenery ever. Nice clean boat and not at all over crowded.

Never realized New Zealand was so mountainous. Beautiful scenery, valleys, streams, and waterfalls. Flight was great allowing you to see what you never would otherwise, and cruise was also great. Would recommend to anyone but it is pricey.

A great experience! Was so awesome to get up close to the waterfall (just be sure to pack some dry clothes if you want to be out front getting in amongst it).
It was totally worth the trip, the next day we were recommending it to family and friends and will definitely be coming back!
